St.—St. P e t ersburg is in the deadly grasp of Asiatic cholera, which already hps ex ceeded in severity and num ber of deaths the visitation of 1893. T he disease is increasing daily at an alarm ing rate, and unless the authorities show in the future a much greater degree pf ability to cope w ith the situation than they have in the /past, there is every reason to fear th at it will get out of hand. T he govern m ent's th reat to apply the provisions of m artial law has driven the munici pal officials to bend all their energies to clearing' the city of the scourge. T he alderm anic council Saturday voted $850,000 to enlarge the hospital space, to purchase and distribute dis infectants, the supply of which in St. P etersburg is well nigh exhausted, and to expedite the interm ent of bodies, which has been notoriously slow. T he deadhouses are over crowded and many corpses lie un buried. U nder his authority, the prefect of St. P etersburg, General Dracheffcky. on Saturday prohibited the sale of liquor throughout the city, including the governm ent vodka shops, until Septem ber 22, and he has further o r dered that hereafter the sale of the liquor shall be suspended at 2 P. M. on Saturday until 1 A. M. Monday. This action has been taken in order to diminish alcoholic excesses, which vefy m aterially increase the liability to cholera infection arid the general spread of the disease.
